Budapest day one…

On the 5th of july at 18:00 we passed the border between Austria and Hungary, but Erna was too lazy to take a picture! When we arrive in Budapest we have now already behind us: 1517 km! We left Amsterdam on monday 29th of june, a week ago today! we got up early this morning and started walking through the city…

Back to the roots for Erna! She is a bit shy speaking hungarian, but definitely is enjoying being here! We had a sweet breakfast at Central Kavéház!…

We visited the Basilika, saw some very nice old and new architecture, lots of building and renovating all around the city, some places are closed down, waiting their turn to be renovated…it is a mix of old, new, decayed, massive and ugly…We saw the Hotel Gellert, Astoria, inside courtyards, a nice wall painting, and the famous red postboxes… Unfortunately the fine arts museum is closed till 2018 for renovation, so we certainly will have to come back!
